Can a full moon make strange things happen?

Researchers and scientists have found no solid correlation between the lunar cycle and human behavior. One study with experiment controls indicates a possible connection between sleep quality and lunar phases, but there has been no independent confirmation of these results so far. It doesn't seem that far fetched, considering that on nights when a full moon is present, my backyard lights up - my bedroom is lighter, and it awakens me. But, it seems like our idea of a full moon making us ''crazy,'' is just based on superstition.

A full moon coincides with spring tides, since at full (and new) moon the moon and sun are pulling together on the oceans, but that's about it, I think.

Apart from werewolves, of course. As my son said, when he was little: "J'etais un loup-garou, mais je ne le suis pluooOOOOOOOOooooo..." :D
 
Dr. Arnold Lieber, a Miami psychiatrist, wrote a book in 1978 called The Lunar Effect, which supports the moon's influence on human behavior.

However, I was unable to replicate his claims.

What happened was we were cycling home from school one day, when he was about 8 or 9 yrs old and I made the old joke about "I used to be a werewolf but I'm all right NaoOOOoooow" and commented that it was a pity it wouldn't work in French. Quick as a flash he came out with what I posted. I was quite impressed. Suppose it's what comes of being bilingual.

A full Moon makes us sleep badly - a popular observation. But the reason, it is not imagination, not superstition, but the well-known cosmic ray and gravitational attraction combined. The surface of the Moon is bombarded by protons and electrons from the Sun, causing the lunar rock to reflect unknown radiation back to the Earth's night side. The brains of people with sensitive nervous systems (mostly women) detect this and respond with alertness and restlessness.

The mass of the Earth is small to bend light, but large enough to slightly bend the trajectories of protons and electrons travelling in the solar wind (400 km/s). As they pass, the gravitational force has a way of exerting its effect for a longer period of time, bending the particles' trajectories. .So, when the full Moon, the Earth pushes the subatomic particles toward the Moon and creates reflected radiation.

Can gravity affect your behavior? After all, it's not the moon that does anything. It's mass does.

If the moon got really close, would you be able to fly?

In a sense. You would be "floating" inasmuch as boulders around you would be floating up toward the Moon alongside you. Even as Moon rocks are raining down on your head.

Look up "Roche Limit".

police officers & paramedics have told me that a full moon brings out a lot of psyche patients
additionally probably people drink more and go a bit more wild with the extra light and there will be more people in general out at night with it being a moon lit night
so over all its a lot busier for police & paramedics with drunks and psyche patients.

craziest is supposedly when a full moon clear sky coincides with a Sunday night

I spent 7 years on the road, playing music in many nightclubs on the entertainment circuit. And it is true that full moon on weekends showed a marked increase in alcohol consumption and aberrant behaviors.
Not being particularly interested in such cosmic phenomena, we would always notice the behavior and confirm it was full moon, on our breaks between sets.

And nurses say the same thing about births.

The problem with this kind of anecdotal evidence is that it contains confirmation bias.

"Crazy night tonight eh, Mack?"
"Sure is, Clyde. Of course - look! It's a Full Moon!"

as opposed to

"Crazy night tonight eh, Mack?"
"Sure is, Clyde. Of course - look! It's a Waning Gibbous!"

Placebo effect? If you believe the full moon affects your behavior, maybe it will.

You’d put all those “astrologers” out of business with this talk. lol

This is like entering a haunted house expecting to see a ghost because you’re afraid at just the idea if it all - and just like that, ghosts are everywhere.

I would rate that as an astron0mically large phenomenon. An indication of enormous forces at work making entire oceans shift their liquid content in the short time of 6 hours.
If we could convert this gravitational shift into pure kinetic energy we wouldn't need oil or coal?

And people who believe in God are likely to see evidence everywhere.
